Botanique"A power trio of jazz geniuses who inflect literate rock with formidable chops"
The power trio of punk-jazz-rock geniuses have struck again with their fifth album, an hour of glorious, messy alchemy. With over 20 albums released in a 30-year career, Marc Ribot is an all-round explorer of the dowtown scene; it's as leader of Ceramic Dog that the guitarist and composer has proved most consistent. To his left, Shahzad Ismaily, a drummer renowned for his omnivocity. To his right, Ches Smith, former drummer with indie band Xiu Xiu, who has forged a parallel practice as a composer and percussionist in Haitian music.
Despite these mercurial tendencies, Ceramic Dog celebrate 18 years of union and present “Connection”, an album that stretches the band's abundant qualities into ten tracks of casual interpretation, heavy feedback and Ribot's agitated vocals. This time, in addition to their avant-garde post-rock/noise identity, Ceramic Dog mix rock, garage, boogaloo, free jazz, disco and Cuban sound, among others. Galvanized by so much freedom and expressiveness, it's hard to remain unmoved by this music, which reflects the fragility of human relationships and endeavors.
“Connection” is Ceramic Dog's proposal for what rock could be in a world more invested in social justice than commerce. To put it simply, Ceramic Dog arrive at Le Botanique armed with more than just theoretical slogans.
FONDRY
Groupe de musique improvisée pop/post-punk/jazz, Fondry est né de la rencontre de Diego Leyder (BRNS, Dièze, Namdose), Nicholas Yates (Thomas Champagne Trio, Samir Barris, One Horse Land...) et Romain Benard (Ropoporose, Primevère, Paradoxant, Milk TV, Namdose...) et de leur envie de proposer une musique inscrite dans l’instant.
L’esthétique du projet se rapproche de celle de groupes comme Dirty Three, Gang of Four, Television ou encore Chicago Underground Quartet. Empruntant des chemins et langages multiples, les sessions et performances du trio sont le résultat de l’alliage des pulsions musicales libertaires des instrumentistes.
Complémentarité, énergie et spontanéité sont les maîtres-mots de ces moments qui se veulent par définition uniques, farouchement improvisés mais aussi résolument décomplexés et accueillants.
